General Info

In the late 18th century, the discovery of a new continent filled with exotic plants unknown to the rest of the world created waves of excitement in the field of botany.

The Australian Botanic Garden displays approximately 2000 of these plants via themed gardens across the site as well as the Connections Garden, a four-hectare intensely cultivated space right in the heart of the Garden.

Other features of the Garden include a restaurant, visitor centre with gift shop, free gas barbecues and acres of Cumberland Plain Woodland to explore. The Garden is also a major event venue and popular visitor destination.

Accredited mind dogs are welcome in the Garden - they must be wearing a badge or permit on collar, lead, harness or vest and produce registration of the dog as an assistance animal issued by local council or other authorised registration agent such as the Animal Welfare League. Make your way to the Visitors Centre or call us in advance on 02 4634 7935 and we will ensure the Rangers are aware of your visit
